Bids must be submitted by 2:00 pm on May 2, 2024, either via email or in a sealed envelope. The purchase order will be awarded based on best value to the State rather than lowest bid, and the successful bidder must deliver the trailers within 120 days of the purchase order. The solicitation allows for a 5% small business preference and a DVBE incentive based on the level of DVBE participation.

The procurement opportunity is open to all qualified bidders, but the solicitation offers a $500 discount per trailer if payment is made within 20 days. The trailers come with a 12-month warranty, 24-month frame warranty, and 12-month warranty on crossmembers, railings, and non-wearing items. Bidders must complete and submit several forms with their bid, including the Bidder Declaration, Payee Data Record, Seller's Permit, and Darfur Contracting Form. The IFB also includes standard State contracting terms and conditions, as well as specific requirements related to delivery, inspection, and acceptance of the trailers.
